Taste-Tested against another brand's blend & straight erythritol
My son and I have been on a keto diet for 5+ weeks. I've ordered Anthony's & "Now Real Food" brands of straight granulated erytheratol, & SoNourished powdered erythritol. They all taste good to us. The powdered dissolves much more quickly in liquids (the granulated versions take a lot more stirring than sugar). We've also tried SoNourished and Lakanto brands of Monk Fruit/Erythritol blends (1:1 sugar substitutes). I did a blind taste test with my son & wife. With repeated tastings, the ones with monk fruit were obviously significantly sweeter to all of us. We couldn't consistently tell the two blends apart by taste. The Lakanto has a slightly yellowish color. The SoNourished is very white. We didn't notice any real taste to any of them (other than sweet). Both monk fruit blends seem a little more finely granulated than the straight erythritol so it may also dissolve faster (haven't tested that). We think both the monk fruit blends are excellent and will buy whichever has the best price. We also bought a small container of pure powdered monk fruit sweetener. It is difficult to measure (very concentrated), doesn't dissolve easily (often just clumps together in liquids), and can add a slightly unpleasant taste to some foods (probably when we used too much). We prefer the blends.
